Some weeks are harder than others.....


Mom and Dad,

I don't have a lot of time.....so so sorry. I need to get some reports for the zone into the Mission President today. It'll be longer next week
-My charger for my razor broke. I’m having the Bishop take a look at it because he fixes electrical stuff. I'm hoping he should be able to fix it
-Please send some one of the magic bars of soap for washing my clothes! 

There are good weeks and tough weeks.  This week has been a tough week!!! Our work has been good, and we should be having three baptisms on June 16!! Being a Zone Leader is teaching me alot of things.   When I came into this Zone there were some Elders that were not too excited because they know I'm obedient and that means that they couldn't get away with certain stuff.  I'm not being a Dictator and forcing people to do things, but I just feel like some of the missionaries are not thrilled that I am in the Zone. We had a zone activity today and some Elders said they were there to "save my companion from me" and they kept on asking him how I was to be around. My companion and I are on good terms and that is what is important. There are some Elders that are just being a bit difficult and words  can sting!

I fasted yesterday to know what I need to do differently as a leader. This is a new challenge for me and it's tough. How do you be 100% obedient yourself, help others and not be seen as too strict and crazy? This week I'm really going to study about becoming a Christ-like leader. I'd love suggestions, especially from Dad and Grandfather, but really anyone.

Missions sure have a way of always being challenging. I know this is a trial the Lord wants me to experience. Please pray for me this week!!  I love you all and will write more next week I promise!

Love,
Elder Yost
